Adding a new member to your family should be an enjoyable event. However, the legal aspects of an adoption can be overwhelming and add stress to the joyous occasion of expanding your family.

Stepparent Adoption
After the death of a former spouse, divorce or other situation, and upon remarriage, the proceedings for a stepparent adoption may be started. However, this is not always the easiest to complete, as the parental rights of the other biological parent (if he or she is still alive) must be terminated. Many individuals object to this, as they still want to have access to their child. I provide representation to clients exploring the option of stepparent adoption or attempting to block the termination of their parental rights.
A situation may arise that warrants the adoption of a child by another type of relative, such as an uncle, aunt or grandparent. I can help clients understand their rights and if they are able to pursue the adoption of the child.
Contact me, attorney Leslie L. Lawson, today to further discuss your options regarding adoption or other family law issues. I can meet with clients on evenings and weekends by appointment.
Credit cards accepted.
